Quotes

  • 人生不相見,動如參與商。今夕復何夕,共此燈燭光。少壯能幾時,鬢髮各已蒼。訪舊半爲鬼,驚呼熱中腸。焉知二十載,重上君子堂。昔別君未婚,兒女忽成行。怡然敬父執,問我來何方。問答乃未已,兒女羅酒漿。夜雨剪春韭,新炊間黃粱。主稱會面難,一舉累十觴。十觴亦不醉,感子故意長。明日隔山嶽,世事兩茫茫。
  • 戰哭多新鬼,愁吟獨老翁。亂雲低薄暮,急雪舞迴風。瓢棄尊無綠,爐存火似紅。數州訊息斷,愁坐正書空。
  • 天際秋雲薄,從西萬里風。今朝好晴景,久雨不妨農。塞柳行疏翠,山梨結小紅。胡笳樓上發,一雁入高空。
  • I'm empty, here at the edge of the sky.
  • Birds the more white, against green streamBlooms burst to flame, against blue hillsI glance, the spring is gone again.What day, what day, can I go home?
  • Nature ever calls people to liveAlong with her; why should I be luredBy transient rank and honours?
